How do connect to a serial port on which the modem's CD is low.

if I set the /etc/ttys table for off softcar, I can connect.  However if   
I set the port to off secure, I am denied access.

I've compared the termios structure before and after, they are identical,   
so there must be some other way to set this mode of operation.  I thought   
the answer would be had in the c_cflags member of termios, but setting it   
with CLOCAL and or HUPCL didn't affect a thing.

Since init seems to be the process in charge of setting the port modes   
via /etc/ttys, I grep it with no luck.

I've poured over the man pages with little success.

BTW thanks to all the help from previous message, your help and   
encouragement enabled me to get a functional serial program.
